It's almost the same process. You just have to build up more layers with the pink or red in your skin tones. You can also use a glaze over the darker tone. It might make it easier to see at first.

@stever73 Жыл бұрын

So when the tips of my thin brushes begin to warp and curve, you just cut them down? Trying to paint super fine detail makes me super nervous. I had a Spiderman vs Goblin model and was debating for days on whether I was going to attempt the lines- I decided to pass on it as the figures on the model are already pretty small. I didn't want to take the chance of making it muddy, but it's still bothering me that I didn't go for it.

@TheCreativeCollector Жыл бұрын

Usually when the tips gets curvy and warp, it means your brush has had it. It could be that you're loading too much paint at the base of the brush and it dries or sometimes it just happens. I still use those brushes though! Sometimes you can use some brush soap and help straighten them out if you dry them inverted. Tamiya makes some great detail brushes as well. Check out the Amazon links in the description of one of my newer videos.
